Charging by induction involves transferring electric charge to an object without direct contact. It relies on the influence of a nearby charged object to redistribute electrons within a conductor.
Conductor: A material that allows electrons to move freely through it, facilitating electric current flow.
Insulator: A material that resists electron flow, preventing electric current from easily passing through it.
Electric Field: $$\text{A region around a charged particle where its electric force influences other charges.}$$
